thanks Carl Lei and Drew Adams.

it's strange.

this is

GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-04-23 on MARVIN

started with -Q.

it display cursor as i-beam.

Then, if i paste this

(setq cursor-type 'box)

evaluate it, it has no effect in the display. (but the variable did
get set, verified with describe-variable)

i found on the web another guy who had similar problem
http://sinewalker.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/curious-cursor-complication-with-emacs-and-windows-magnifier/

but mine isn't related to Windows magnifier he speaks of. I don't have
that turned on.
